I am not sure if this plea for help is going-up in the right place - but this community format has now been changed and makes no sense at all (makes it very hard to navigate and interact with).  You almost sense that the last format was too successful and too many people told spotify what they thought of it?

 

 We all know that the smart thinking that makes spotify work aint so smart.  Many of my problems would be solved if we had the much vaunted 'forget this artist option'.  I read that it has been implemented for everyone (all users) but I will be dammed if I can find it!  There was an opaque comment on this forum about 'go to pages' (whatever that means / wherever that may be) and another in the help section about click the menu option and just select 'do not play this artist'. I have yet to find anything that looks like 'forget this artist'.  I use spotify premium on iPhone  and have even had a look around on the desk-top but nothing has popped-up

What am I missing - help me out folks!

 

I might respectfully suggest that your smart algorithms might have identified that when I click on the 'don't play this song' icon every time I hear any song by a particular artist that this might be a clue to stop playing songs by that artist?  Turns out no!  

As they say 'artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!'

Glad everyone else is struggling with this, absolutely terrible...

If this isn't the right place for this, I apologize, but I can't seem to figure out where I can actually ask a question so this was my best bet. 

 

Up until a few weeks ago, I was able to use the 🚫 feature when listening to playlists created by other people. It was great, since there are usually a few songs that I'd prefer not to listen to on a playlist, and it saved me from having to use a "skip" when I wasn't a premium member. I've noticed that the option to "hide" a song is now gone and I'd like to know if this is a permanent thing? This was such a fantastic feature, and I don't see how it could have negatively impacted anything given that it wasn't actually taking songs off of playlists - it was just letting listeners adjust the songs that they wanted to hear. 

 

I have version 8.5.33.831 and this is an issue on my Desktop (Windows) as well as my Samsung Galaxy S9

Would love to see how my usage stacks up to other users around the world. For instance, I listened to a little over **bleep**,000 minutes of music in 2019, and I am curious to see how my music obsession compares to other people in the US and around the world.

What metrics do Spotify use to carry an idea forward, is it literally the amount of upvotes it gets or some other method.

 

And on the ideas that get the "we are not considering this at the moment" it would be nice to give an explanation as to why, ive read at least one good ideas today that was detailed in its approach and it was marked as "not being implemented" but with no explanation as to why.
